Decorative street lamps providing finishing touches for Lathrop Road
Placeholder Image
By the end of the month the traffic signal at Lathrop Road where it intersects with Cambridge Drive and Rev. Maurice Cotton Drive should be operational. And then it’ll take only a few finishing touches – like the installation of the custom-made decorative street lamps that will be placed every 150-feet apart along Lathrop Road – to finish up the construction of the long-awaited and long-planned widening of Lathrop Road to four lanes through the heart of the city. According to Senior Civil Engineer Michael King, the city has already installed the traffic signal and all of the necessary conduit and electrical wiring for the new street light, but are waiting on a controller module that will maintain the light cycles at the new intersection.
